🚨🎙️Thierry Henry on Breel Embolo's Red Card Against Argentina
"I've watched the incident a few times, and if you ask me, I don't think that's a second yellow card. Breel Embolo is an honest centre-forward. He plays with intensity, he uses his body, he competes for every ball. That's what you want from a striker. In a World Cup quarter-final, I think the referee has to be absolutely certain before making a decision that changes the game."
"People will say, 'The rules are the rules,' and I understand that. But football also needs context. It's an emotional game, it's physical, and there wasn't enough there for me to send a player off. Once Switzerland went down to ten men, the whole balance of the match shifted, and that's disappointing because it should have been decided by the players, not by a marginal decision."
"I feel for Embolo because he'll probably blame himself, but he shouldn't. Sometimes football is cruel. One whistle, one card, and suddenly you're remembered for something that, in my opinion, shouldn't have happened. Switzerland showed character, but I would've preferred to see both teams finish with eleven men and let the football decide who deserved to go through."
